Theatre of War Kursk demo is out!

I'm not convinced that TOW improved it's infantry AI but most of the time it is half way decent.

Otherwise I am really enjoying this new demo.

There are so many different types of units to choose from that were not in TOW2 Africa. A long time ago I played the game Panzerblitz and really liked units such as the Wespe and Hummel, these armored units are in this game. There is an impressive selection of tanks from Panzer III up to Panzer VI. There is a good selection of Halftracks and even the communication wagon. This game has Mortar units which are quite helpful.

The scenic backdrop is a big leap from TOWII Africa. The landscape is done very well.

In the demo mission you have the flexibility to pick your own army from an alloted ammount of points so you could try different compositions of units to find the right mix.

The scenario developer can be reviewed in the demo but unfortunately you can not generate your own. This will make this much more replayable than it's predecessors.

In trying out the German mission (I haven't tried the Russian mission but I've read there is a lot of mud) I'd have to say that the landscape looks right out of Red Orchestra. You have a lot of units but you are pinned right from the start.

I am hoping the sales for this game do very well. This is a mixture of great graphics, great physics, and a great gameplay type. This is not a cookie cutter cheapen the gameplay for great sales type game.
